If pictures of gross feet transforming by means of a chemical peel would freak you out, you REALLY don't want to read this.
But if you're curious about how Baby Foot works or you're looking for a product that will REALLY do what it claims to help soften your feet, read on!
**************************************************************
A few weeks ago a friend of mine posted on Facebook about a product she'd bought online to help with her dry feet. I am always on the look out for products like this, but have found that most of them fall into the same category. That is, they are all creams/lotions/body butter type products & if you use them regularly (EVERY NIGHT) they will work. That's where I lack in product success. I have good intentions, but I forget to use them after the first few days. And bam....crusty hooves.
That's not just a funny name I just came up with. It's what my husband has called my feet for the last couple decades. Isn't that sweet? Thank God he loves the rest of me!
Here's the thing. I grew up in the country. I live in the south. I'm a barefoot girl. I pretty much go barefoot 24/7 in the summertime. I only put on shoes if I'm going somewhere. And during the school year, I wear shoes all day but take them off the second I get home. To this day, if anyone in my house has on shoes, they get asked where they're going. It's like putting on shoes equates dressing up. ha ha! So years & years & years of barefoot walking means my entire foot is basically one big callous on top of an older callous. Layer upon layer of hardened skin. I know....lovely mental image, right? {Hang in there....I'll show you the actual thing in a second. Scary....}
So when my friend posted about Baby Foot I had to look into it. Anything that I've been told about personally by someone I know & trust is worth a look. I googled it and was SHOCKED and WOWED by the pictures.
Pause reading this for a second. Take a minute and open another window. I'm serious. It'll blow your mind. Do a quick google search for baby foot before and after photos. It's really shocking. And disgusting. In the most satisfying way.
Before I continue, I should scare you to death, errr...I mean, show you my "before" pictures. I should apologize ahead of time. It's frightening. Make sure the kiddies aren't around. They might cry.
See what I mean? I NEEDED this stuff!!
So this is Baby Foot. You can buy it from their own website for $25 plus shipping. I found this one on amazon for about $23 including shipping. It comes in a box like this.
To use Baby Foot, you first have to soak your feet in warm, soapy water for 15-20 minutes. Then dry thoroughly and get ready for the process!
You slip on these lovely little plastic bag booties. They're about the size of a gallon ziploc bag. They come with little tape strips to fold over & tape down. This will hold them in place on your feet. They are filled with a lotion/gel stuff. That's the magic stuff!!
And here's the fun part. Sit or lie down. For an HOUR. You really have to sit still & let the gel/lotion/goo inside the booties to work.
After an hour, wash the remaining gel off your feet thoroughly & go back to life as normal. For a few days, you'll feel like the stuff did not work, but then the wild part begins. I read online that some people had a lag of as much as 5 days after use before the peeling began. But for me, it started on about day 3.
First it was just a little peel.
Every day for the next 4-5 days, I peeled a little more.
I know.
GROSS. Shudder! Good grief!
But...wow!!!!!
By about 8-9 days after the initial treatment, I was pretty well done peeling. Every place that peeled left SOFT pink, fresh new skin. While it looks red/pink in the after pics below, it was NOT inflamed or painful AT ALL. That's just what healthy, fresh skin looks like! Plus the lighting in my house is not the greatest so it probably looks a little pinker than it really is.
But LOOK!
The cracks were SO deep that you can still see them, but they're smooth to the touch. I will probably do this again soon but the process is so ugly & gross (all that peeling skin!!) that I hate to do it during the summer when people will see my feet in flip flops & sandals. The box says to wait about 5-10 days at least between the end of peeling & doing a 2nd treatment. I still need to keep up the softness with regular lotion/cream/pedicures, too!!
If you're considering using Baby Foot, I highly recommend it. It truly does work exactly like it says it will!! And it is painless!!
